												  Deformation of the Ancient Mole of Palairos (Western Greece) by Faulting and LiquefactionMarine Geology 380 (2016) 106–112 Contents lists available at ScienceDirect Marine Geology journal homepage: www.elsevier.com/locate/margo Deformation of the ancient mole of Palairos (Western Greece) by faulting and liquefaction Stathis Stiros ⁎, Vasso Saltogianni Department of Civil Engineering, University of Patras, Patras, Greece article info abstract Article history: A submerged 2300 years-old mole or breakwater with a sigmoidal shape has been identified at the Palairos har- Received 8 March 2016 bor (Akarnania, SW Greece mainland). Different possible scenarios could be proposed to explain this enigmatic Received in revised form 26 July 2016 shape for an ancient breakwater, such as selective erosion of the original structure, construction above existing Accepted 3 August 2016 shoals or reefs, gravity sliding and post-construction offset due to strike-slip faulting, but all these scenarios Available online 05 August 2016 seem rather weak. Inspired by a large scale lateral offset of a retaining wall of a quay at the Barcelona harbor due to static liquefaction, by evidence of strike-slip earthquakes and of liquefaction potential in the study area, Keywords: Marine transgression as well as by recent evidence for long-duration steady, nearly uni-directional dynamic displacements in the Soil dynamics near-field of strike-slip faults, we propose an alternative scenario for this mole. An earthquake associated with Palaeoseismic/paleoseismic strike-slip faulting and high acceleration produced liquefaction of the mole foundations and long duration, nearly Sea-level rise unidirectional tectonic slip, while the later part of the steady slip produced additional secondary (surficial) slip on liquefied layers. © 2016 Elsevier B.V.

The 2018 Report is extremely important to us, as 2018 signals the operational completion of our project, and during this year: A) Both the construction and the full operation of the Ionia Odos motorway have been completed, a project linking 2 Regions, 4 prefectures and 10 Municipalities, giving a boost to development not only in Western Greece and Epirus, but in the whole country, B) Significant infrastructure upgrade projects have also been designed, implemented and completed at the A.TH.E Motorway section from Metamorphosis in Attica to Scarfia, a section we operate, maintain and manage. During the first year of the full operation of the motorways - with 500 employees in management and operation, with more than 350 kilometres of modern, safe motorways in 7 prefectures of our country with a multitude of local communities - we incorporated in our daily operations actions, activities and programs we had designed, aiming at supporting and implementing the key strategic and development pillars of our company for the upcoming years.
